O'Melveny

O'Melveny has developed a broad labor and employment disputes practice which is geared to support on wage and hour class and collective actions, litigation arising from COVID-19, and allegations of negligence, as well as discrimination and reverse discrimination claims, sexual misconduct cases, and wrongful terminations. With a robust offering and experience acting before federal and state courts – including District and Superior courts – the group has amassed an impressive client base, which consists of notable businesses from the media and entertainment, financial services, and aviation sectors, to name a few. Co-chairing the team in Washington DC is Aparna Joshi, a key point of contact for aviation companies facing federal court and class action litigation prompted by discrimination claims. Fellow co-chair Eric Amdursky is based in Silicon Valley and stands out for his scope of expertise which covers litigation elicited by sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation allegations, in addition to executive compensation, non-compete agreements, and trade secret misappropriation. The practice also benefits from the aptitude of LA’s Apalla Chopra, who specializes in class action discrimination and wage and hour litigation. Other key practitioners include LA-based Adam Karr and Mark Robertson, who is located in New York.
